Administration at Lake of the Woods District Hospital would like to hear from the provincial government sooner rather than later what it can expect in terms of funding this year.
Marc Belcaen is the CEO of the hospital and says they usually know before the end of January what kind of operating grants they will be getting.
Belcaen says they have been asked to submit operating budgets based on a zero,one or two percent funding increase.
He adds that they have been lobbying for a two percent increase in order to maintain their current level of service.
